Kimes Ranch is proud to support young athletes through our annual Student Athlete Team sponsorship program. Each year, 25 student athletes are selected through a competitive, two-part process.

The application period opens on July 21st and closes on July 28th. All interested applicants must complete and submit an application during this time. Once the application window has closed, 20 athletes will be selected by our internal team and announced on our social media platforms.The remaining 5 team members will be determined through a public vote, also hosted on social media. The 5 athletes who receive the most votes will earn the final spots on the team, completing the group of 25 sponsored student athletes.

Our goal is to support student athletes by fostering a community that empowers them to thrive both in and out of the arena. Team members gain access to valuable opportunities, including mentorship, content creation for social media, exclusive team events, product discounts, and more.

We are passionate about helping young athletes become the best version of themselves in their chosen discipline, and we look forward to reviewing your applications. Be sure to follow us on social media for updates and announcements!
